MicroHs is the browser is more fun now

augustss:

Why don’t you think you can compile MicroHs on your Windows machine?

ok i’ve spent half a day getting nowhere. the only cl, nmake i have is inside visual studio (if that makes any difference). I checked they were in my path.

> nmake /F “C:\…\Makefile.windows”

…\config.h (56) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: ‘inttypes.h’: No such file or directory
…
Stop

Looking ahead, I see the Makefile also has a bunch of Cabal stuff. I don’t have/don’t want Cabal installed.

I had thought this might go easier if I asked Vis Studio to build it. But all it said was “is up-to-date”.

I’m reporting this experience as a public service. Don’t bother getting into a long dialogue of diagnostics. I’ve spent already too long fighting command lines. (Why Windows? — to answer the q upthread. Because i’m allergic to command lines.)

Addit: i see inttypes.h is in my ghc install. Was i supposed to include that in my path? And what else?
